One of Durham’s most revered figures will be honored this Wednesday evening (June 29th) at a place with which she was quite familar. The late Dr. Anna Pauline "Pauli" Murray, the first African-American woman to be ordained as an Episcopal Priest, will be honored in a special service at St. Titus' Episcopal Church.
The Rev. Murray was a lawyer, scholar, civil rights activist, and historian – in addition to her groundbreaking elevation to the priesthood in 1977. Bishop Michael Curry of the NC Episcopal Diocese will lead the liturgy Wednesday night, which will include volunteers from all the parishes in the Diocese. Murray, who was raised by relatives in Durham, died in 1985. She attended school at St. Titus as a child.

Here's a clip showing what they do. The enthusiastic young people will be performing at Temple Beth Or Monday from 7 – 8pm.
